Huge win for car owners! All TSBs to be made public.
The Center for Auto Safety just made the NHTSA (US Government) make public the full text of all TSBs from now on. They are the same organization that has petitioned the NHTSA & filed lawsuits to protect car owners over exploding gas tanks & other major safety issues.
Whenever you drive in your car, you are safer thanks in part to a lot of work over the years by this small but very effective consumer advocacy group.

I have had the rotors replaced twice within 22,000 miles. I just took it in again because the wheel shakes when applying the brakes sometimes, the dealer says they don't see anything wrong. In the rain it feels like the brakes are not going to work at all, every now and then the brake pedal goes to the floor. There is something wrong, the car should not be shaking like this and should not be needing new rotors all the time. They've also replaced the wheel covers every time the rotors were done, I don't know why. I had them replace the pass. Wheel cover last week because I noticed small cracks on each spoke of the rim.
